Chancellor's Award for Students

2015 Chancellor's Award for Students

The Award

The Chancellor's Award recognizes students who possess the qualities of leadership, service, and commitment and acknowledges a student's unique personal traits and skills. This award is granted to upper class students or graduate students and is not solely based on scholastic achievement. As of 2015, graduate students are also considered eligible for this prestigious award. The recipients will receive the award at the Chancellor's Award Reception for students in April.

Criteria for Selection

The criteria for selection is based on exceptional leadership skills with service and commitment to the university and community through various projects and activities. Distinguishing attributes, unique personality traits, and special talents are also considered in the selection process. A student may receive the Chancellor's Award only once during his or her undergraduate or graduate career.

Nomination Process

Nominations and support letters can come from any individual willing to provide them. A faculty or staff member, an organization leader or adviser, or even a fellow student, may serve as your nominator or supporter. A student can also nominate him/herself for the award, but it would likely make a more compelling nomination if the student were to request another individual to serve as their nominator.
